Pinned topicBigInsights V2.0 on CentOS - 64 bit?

I wanted to know if BigInsights V2.0 can be installed on CentOS - 64 bit VM/physical 1 node?

I have previously installed BigInsights V1.4 on CentOS - 64 bit VM and it runs fine. (looked at the following video to install)

I am not interested in a dual boot windows 7 + linux for running BigInsights and Streams. Hence just wanted to confirm if CentOS will work? This is for academic purposes - hence I can't install Red Hat natively since it comes for a price after a 1 month trial.

Here are my install instructions. Some are, I bet, superfluous, but I got the installation to finish. On my installation, however, there is a problem: Launching applications from the console does not seem to work.
